THE PROSPECT dP PEACE.
By the latest intelligence from Europe, there appeart
to be a strong likelihood of an early restoration of
peace between Russia and the Allies. It would seem
to be the result of Austrian intervention. The terms,
while conservative of the nationa honor of Russia,
arc considered decidedly.advantageous to~ the AIIbee.
The Black.Sea is to become a strictly commercialss,
open to the ships of .all nations, bet utterly closed
against ve'ssels of war from whatever quarter. Even
[its shores are to be dismantled of all military defences.
-Rusia is alo to give up'all control over the Danube,
its different branches and both its mouths. And
either party to the war it to foot'its own expenses as
they may. Such is the sum and substance of thus
news of peace; and it is thought., from the reliability
o the channel through which it comes, that it may be
believed. --
If it is really so, the concession should be readily
made that the Allies have acted in a manner worthy
of two great ntions. To have made the -Black Sea s
high-way for the commeree of the world, where e~very
flag shall float tinforbidden arid unmolested, ,is .pn
-achievement eveiy way worityof the exalted Chris
tian age in-which we livd. Should tifeir course to.
-wards -Turkey be stamped wIth a ~similarly high-and
enlightened.policy, France and England will have at
aied a more elevated position than the suibjuagatlon
of the whole Russian Empire could have given them.
-The. Founstain-Heads Replieni~shed.
Wa have at length had an abundance of rain for all
uses. The winter thus far has been Wet to an excess,
the very thing needed..to fill our mill-ponds, replenish
our wells and saturate. the substratum. or our lands.
A little more of the same sort of weather might not be
amass.-Then, a month or two of bright sun-shine by
day and regular freezes by night (together with a free
use of Goons's Iron Plow) will be all the planters
ought to wish for until towardsSprIng.
The Georgia Widow.
"John Phenix" has written a hook which will soon
be out. A fter the fashion, or perhaps we should say
policy, of the dlay, his publishers are giving samples in
advance of the forthcoming " Phenixiana." There is
an accont of a Georgia widow which we reprint
with minh and indignation--mirth at its absurd truth
fulness to human nature, indignation at the slur 4

-A certain Squire is made to tell the anicdote, who
(fix yousbsides for a hard laught) thus proceeds

This is its use--this its purpuse. It is an argtument,
written in blood, agairst negro ematncipation. It-has
already told and is yet to tell with irresistible power
upon the common sense of mankind.- Nor sdo we con
cieve that we are going one step beyotnd the bounds of
rai'onal conjecture, whte-n we stnggesft that' this re
m aarkable event wats designed by Heaven for sthe pro
tectioin of thse grand slave-holding, cuotngroning
division of the Atnerican confederacy. One of the
best evidences of the correctness of this opintion is to
be found in she facts that Engfand's psseudlo-phsilasn,
tlropists have felt the lesson andl are slinking fromt tall
further proseenstin of their vattntedi schemes of unsi
versal emancipation; while Abolitionismat lhfe North,
alt bongha holding at present a sort of halance of power
mat politicalaspect, is really below pa'r with the-high
toned and well-informed portion of the peomple of 1
tat section. Perhaps nothing hsas .oecurredtoore dl.1
retly conducive to thte permanency of African slaveryI
at th l~outit than the emancipatiun of the blacks-.
of St. Domingo. -
A thtird argument, in favor of a Providential cars
for slavery, grows onttof thse improving condit ioa-of
or negroes. Although their situation withs us -was
always immensely superior in many respect! toilheir
origioal state of barbarism and cantnibalium, yet it, is L
a fact which demands our frank admission, that their
circumstances Acrc have much improved in latter
years. They are certainly better cared for than they
were at the outset. They arc, as a general. rule, bet
ter fed, better clad an~d better instructed. Their privi
les too, under proper checks, have been extende'd.
They are becominig to be regarded ini everypart of the
Sosth s intelligent and responsible diemtbers of the 1
master's household; and; while subjection isr arifully
enforced, the negrces themselves feel, that they are
safe from injutry or wrong, and, absove all, frnm neg
ret and .desertion In sickness and old age. There is
moreover a growing disinclination on the part of'
sae-owners to separate families of-slaves ; indeed it
is now seldom done wbern there-as a possibility of
avoiding it. Other things might be mentioned, suach
as the increasinsg stringency of the law for the pro
tection of tlte negro's life against the wanton ill-treat
ment of tiie white man, the building of churchtes for
Ihis especial acconiodation; &c..,&c. From many such
Ifacts combined, thte conclusior. follows that the negro'sr
Icondition ander our system of slavery is a steadily im
iproving oine. .And In this we think the hand-of Provi- 1
denceis clearly to be seen. Thtese thtings are-fly Him f
]thusordered and decreed. for the benefit of both masi-T
ter .and. servant; and His design -is evidently the r
establishment of Souttherm institutions on an immuta-r
blebasis,
The last reason we shall allude to, in support of the I
proposition expressed an our caption, is thte advancing.
value of our negroes and an increasing steadiness in.
the prices thiey command. in. spite of the fr'enzied
Ithreats of Northern A bolitionistis and' the somewhat r
calmer resolvesof Norihern Freesillers, negro pro'perty I
Inever was worth-mtore than at the present time. For d
several years past there has been no change in prices 11
xcept for the better; and this too at a penod when
our money market was never more difficult. The
~probability is that thtey will never fall again. Does
no h'circumstance evince the moving of a Provi
detal influence upon the destiny of Southern slave
holders ? We only need now that the African slave I
trade be re-opened, to complete the proof of our
" institution's" righteaousness and .the hopes of its per
m nanency. . n
